LIFELONG LEARNING BEGINS FOR 1981 GRADUATES

Amid the threat of torrential rains
and a severe weather watch, forty-
eight graduates received their de-
grees from Chairman of the Board,
Dr. J. Philips Noble, in the 151st
Commencement Exercises of Colum-
bia Theological Seminary. Dr. J.
Davison Philips, President, presented
all the candidates for their degrees
and read the charge to the graduates
at the conclusion of the ceremonies.

Earlier in the day, Baccalaureate
Services were held at North Avenue
Presbyterian Church, Atlanta. The
guest preacher for the service was the
Rev. O. Halvard Lyon, pastor of
First Presbyterian Church, Toccoa,
Georgia, and an alumnus of Colum-
bia. His sermon was entitled "Aha!
That's Who You Are!" In addition.
Professor James Gailey was an in-
vited participant in the service in
recognition of his retirement after 28
years of distinguished service to
Columbia Seminary.

The Commencement address was
delivered by Dr. James H. Daugh-
drill, Jr., President of Southwestern
at Memphis, and centered on "Ele-
ments of Lifelong Learning." Dr.
Daughdrill is also a graduate of Co-
lumbia Seminary.

Three women students were
awarded their degrees "With Distinc-
tion" due to outstanding academic
achievement. They were Janet Bris-
coe Aldridge, Mary Jane Kerr Cor-
nell, and Marilyn Roberts Washburn.

was presented to Professor Keith F.
Nickle for his recent publication The
Synoptic Gospels. In addition to
these awards, other prizes will be
given to returning students at the
Fall Honors Day program in Oc-
tober.

PROGRESS REPORT

Many exciting things have been hap-
pening in the COMMITMENT TO
I \( I I I I \( 1 CAMPAIGN in the
Synod o! the Southeast. As of June 1.
1981, .in amount of S2.019.702 has
been pledged to the Campaign by 147
churches, along with certain individu-
als and foundations.

Major commitments include a pledge
ol $500,000 from the PEACHTREE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH of At-
lanta to establish a Chair of Evange-
lism and Church Growth. This commit-
ment, to be paid over a period of eight
years, is serving as a pace-setter for
Atlanta Presbytery and the other twelve
presbyteries in the Synod. Another ma-
jor commitment is a gift of $150,000
by the ANN AND THOMAS COUS-
INS FOUNDATION to provide schol-
arship funds for deserving students.

We are grateful for the partnership
that exists between Columbia Seminary
and the smaller churches in the Synod.
The ADEL PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH of Adel, GA, with 15 mem-
bers, made a pledge of $450. The JEF-
FERSON PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
of Jefferson, GA, with 76 members,
made a gift of $6,000 to the Campaign.

President Philips states, "It is indeed
gratifying to see the fine response being
made to the Commitment to Excellence
Campaign throughout the Synod of the
Southeast. The commitments made are
a significant investment in the lives of
the future leaders of the Church."

EXPANSION FUND APPROACHES FIVE MILLION

The Board of Directors made an extensive study of the projected needs of
Columbia Seminary in 1974-75. It discovered that, although the Seminary was
blessed with a lovely campus and physical plant, it would have to add appreci-
able amounts to its endowment if it would continue its commitment to ex-
cellence in the preparation of ministers of the Gospel.

The Board adopted a plan in November, 1975, to raise an amount of
$7,500,000 in capital funds during the decade, 1976-1985. The projected goal
was to be allocated as follows:

Physical Plant and Facilities $1,500,000

Endowment Fund 6,000,000

Total $7,500,000

Thanks to campaign funds from the supporting synods, special funds, gifts
to endowment and some generous wills and bequests, the goal set for the Ex-
pansion Fund by the Board is within reach.

Here is a summary of all gifts to the Expansion Fund from January 1,
1976, to April 30, 1981, along with additional pledge commitments:

charged, are moving into ministry
and into the future with the prayers
and congratulations of the Seminary.
And, we look to the future!

In addition to planning for the
Summer Sessions beginning in July,
in implementing a budget, in as-
signed courses and classrooms, in
maintaining our plant, in moving in
new students, and all the major tasks
of every year, there is something
more.

The Board of Directors has au-
thorized the appointment of a long
range planning committee called the
Toward Two Thousand Committee.
Chairman Noble has asked Dr. James
V. Johnson, Pastor of the First Pres-
byterian Church of Columbus, GA,
to chair this 14 member group. The
assignment is of major significance:
plan the life and mission of Colum-
bia Seminary for the next two dec-

ades, as clearly and responsibly as
possible. This will take us to the
year Two Thousand in broad per-
spectives.

Equally important is the Curricu-
lum Revision Committee appointed
by the Faculty at our post-graduation
meeting, June 1. It will contribute
much in the way of recommendations
for the strengthening of our curricu-
lum and faculty as we move into the
future also.

In all this we seek God's clear
guidance, and pray that there may be
resources of people, money, and wis-
dom to do significant work in His
mission. May I thank you for all you
mean in the calling of candidates for
ministry, supporting us with your
gifts and prayers, and making all
these good things possible.

Faithfully yours,

'UZUAJ*^ Olt*<i.

THIRD WORLD SUMMER

In a cooperative effort with the
United Theological College of the
West Indies, Churches of the Carib-
bean, and Columbia Seminary, three
students will be completing their
SM210 requirements in the West In-
dies this summer. Alice Hickcox will
serve the Hope United Church, Tom
Robinson will serve Meadowbrook
United Church, and Don Wooley will
serve the Harbour View Moravian
Church. All three congregations are
in the Kingston, Jamaica area.

According to Pete Carruthers, Di-
rector of Supervised Ministry, this
cooperative venture is unique . . .
"For as the Jamaican Church people
have internationalized their theolog-
ical education for years (degrees
from European and American
Schools), this will be the first time
American Theological Students have
gone to Jamaica for extended study
and participated in ministry in the
Jamaican context."

CFC Elects New Leadership

One of the highlights of this year's
"Come See Columbia Day" was the
installation of Columbia Friendship
Circle's new officers. Taking the oath
as President was Mrs. C. J. (Betsy)
Hammet, Columbia, SC; Mrs. John
G. (Gena) Taylor, Jr., Vice Presi-
dent, Jacksonville, FL; Mrs. Fern Y.
(Ira) Shutt, Secretary - Historian,
Greenville, KY; and Mrs. Eric A.
(Ruth) Esche, Parliamentarian, Mar-
ietta, GA. Dr. J. Davison Philips,
President of CTS, serves as Treas-
urer.

CFC has had a vital role in sup-
port of students and educational ser-
vices at Columbia over the years.
This year, an exciting goal of
$30,000 has been set for funding the
1981-82 CFC Project. The two major
areas of the CFC project will be the
Columbia Scholarship Program and
John Bulow Campbell Library. In
the words of retiring President, Cora
Smith, "No one could better under-
stand the needs of Columbia and the

Alumni." All women are encouraged
to take an active part in CFC and
mark their calendars for the 1982
"Come See Columbia Day," April
22, 1982.

Library Adds OCLC System

April 8, 1981, marked a turning
point in the life of John Bulow
Campbell Library, Columbia's re-
search and resource facility. In July,
1981, Dr. James Overbeck was called
to head the CTS Library operation
and through his leadership has trans-
formed a "sleeping giant" into a vital
informational center. This was done
most effectively with the new OCLC
system. It offers a computerized, out-
line file of information abojit more
than six million books and other
library materials. By typing simple

commands on the terminal keyboard,
CTS can retrieve information in sec-
onds.

The Ohio College Library Center
was begun in 1967 and since that
time has added over 2,200 libraries
in 50 states, Canada, and other
countries with more than 3,000 re-
mote computer terminals (as pictured
below). The OCLC has a data base
of 13.4 billion items of stored in-
formation and grows by 25,000 in-
formational items each week. Our
library, as other libraries, will use the
OCLC system to catalog books, order
custom-printed catalog cards, main-
tain location information about li-
brary materials, and arrange for in-
terlibrary lending of materials.

The OCLC has two fundamental
objectives: to increase availability of
library resources for users of mem-
ber libraries, and to reduce the rate
of rise of per-unit costs in libraries.
With the addition of an outline print-
er, all materials will be immediately
available to CTS Library Operations.

CLYMER JOINS BOARD

At the joint Spring Meeting of the
Board of Directors and the Presi-
dent's Advisory Council, Mr. Lud-
wick M. (Lem) Clymer was intro-
duced as the new Board member
from the Synod of the Mid-South.
President J. Davison Philips ex-
pressed that Columbia was indeed
fortunate to have laypersons such as
Mr. Clymer interested in the mission
of Columbia and willing to serve in
the guidance of the Seminary.

Mr. Clymer is a graduate of Duke
University and served as a bomber
pilot in the U.S. Army Air Force in
England during WWII. Through a
distinguished career in the business
world, Mr. Clymer "helped cast the
first die for Holiday Inns, Inc." He
served as its President from 1973-
1978 and its Chief Executive Officer
from 1975-1978.

The Clymers are members of Sec-
ond Presbyterian Church in Mem-
phis. Lem and his wife, Dale War-
math Clymer, have two sons and a
daughter. Columbia Seminary wel-
comes Mr. Clymer and urges you to
prayerfully support him and Colum-
bia in the mission of the Church.

Supervised Ministry The Church As Classroom

Each summer, as part of the required curriculum at Columbia, students move
on-the-field for first hand experience through the Supervised Ministry Program
directed by Pete Carruthers. In addition to the exposure to the everyday demands
of the ministry, the student will be afforded the opportunity to use the year's
academic preparation in formulating a cohesive, effective ministry through preach-
ing, teaching, counseling, and hospital visitation, as well as working with a seasoned
pastor, the Church Session, and various committees of the church.

It is through the Supervised Ministry Program that Churches serve a crucial
roll in preparing men and women for ordained ministry. This classroom is not
available anywhere else. We ask you to join us in prayerful support as this year's
Supervised Ministry students go out into the church to minister to congregations as
well as be ministered to by those congregations.

1981 ENTERING
CLASS GROWING

At the recent post-graduation fa-
culty meeting, Dr. Harry H. Barrow,
Director of Admissions, reported that
forty-one M.Div. students have been
accepted for the July, 1981, Greek
School. In addition, eleven others will
join these students in the fall for the
1981-82 academic year. Five of these
fifty-two students represent transfers
from other seminaries.

As well as the M.Div. program,
there were three students accepted to
the Master of Theological Studies
Program; four "Special" classification
students, and seven unclassified stu-
dents. Dr. Barrow shared with the
faculty his optimism about the di-
versity of gifts in these entering stu-
dents. These sixty-six students in-
crease the number of students who
are applying and accepted to seventy-
three.

Alumni/ae News Feature

Through canvassing our Alumni/
ae and numerous other channels of
influence, it has become aware to
Vantage the need for an Alumni/ae
News Column. Our graduates not
only serve the Church well, but in a
variety of capacities, and it is diffi-
cult sometimes to stay current with
new calls in ministry. It is our hope
that YOU, the Alumni/ae of Colum-
bia, will send to us any news items
about yourself that you would like to
share with your colleagues and
friends, as well as other interested
Partners in Mission with Columbia.
We feel that this can indeed serve to
strengthen the bond between you and
Columbia, as well as each other. We
need your help to be successful.

Send your information on a 3 x 5
card to: VANTAGE, Daniel A. Nail,
Editor, Columbia Theological Sem-
inary, Decatur, GA 30031. This card
must include your full name and class

ni/ae News in your Fall issue of
VANTAGE.

Pew Bibles Given for CTS Chapel

Through a student's suggestion to
the Worship and Convocations Com-
mittee, pew Bibles have been pur-
chased and given for use in the
Chapel at Columbia Seminary. Dr.
and Mrs. C. Benton Kline, Jr., bet-
ter known as Ben and Chris, donated
the Bibles to the Seminary in honor
of their fathers. Dr. Kline is Pro-
fessor of Theology at CTS.

Although these Bibles are dedicated
to the Glory of God and Mr. Charles
A. Hicks and Mr. C. Benton Kline,
Sr., Dr. Kline remarked, "Neither of
these men are what you would call
'Bible' people. Mr. Hicks, Chris' fa-

ther, was better known as a handi-
man, a Deacon at Decatur Presby-
terian Church and on the Mission
Haven Board when many items were
shipped from there to Topple Hos-
pital in Korea." However, by trade
he was a Marine Engineer and spent
much of his life at sea. It was his
mother who gave him a Bible the
first time he went to sea, simply re-
questing him to "read from it daily."
This request moved him to develop
a life-long habit of reading daily
God's word.

Mr. C. Benton Kline, Sr., a Metal-
lurgist by trade, was a ruling elder at

Mt. Lcbon Presbyterian Church,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was his
mother who gave the Bible an im-
portance in the family. Dr. Kline's
memory of his father is "that of the
financial secretary who would spend
Sundays trying to pay the Church's
bills on Depression tithes. But he
made us memorize the Bible verses
just like he'd been taught." C. B.
Kline, Sr., died during Professor
Kline's first year of Seminary. But
the love for the scriptures has re-
mained and grown with his family.
The nurture and love of God through
parents is incalculable.

In the course of history with any great institution, it becomes evident

. . . , . . , . . ... , Betsey Burgess and Mary

that the outward success found in that history is due in great part to the B otten, seminary Relations
inner workings and behind-the-scenes tasks that the support staff per-
forms. At Columbia, we have been blessed with many faithful workers
and gracious servants in the roles of secretary.

To get an average age of our staff secretaries would require a miracle,
however, our 17 support staff collectively represent over 110 years of
experience at Columbia alone. Many came to CTS after working in other
businesses and institutions and over 50% have three years or less on staff
at Columbia. The senior support staff member in longevity is Barbara
Cheney, Secretary for Dr. Doug Hix, Director of Advanced Studies.
Barbara has been at CTS for 21 years and said, "I only came to stuff
envelopes for 2 months! Now that's what I call real job stretching."

With Columbia planning Toward The Year Two Thousand, we thank
God for His blessings on Columbia through Students, Faculty, Staff and
Friends. But as one would realize on a great sailing vessel, "with the
strongest winds aloft yet no one to raise the sails, what good would the
vessel be?" So it is with the secretarial support staff. Without their help,
our efforts would be hindered.
